Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (about 9–10 ounces) cheese tortellini
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Base: In your slow cooker, combine the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to mix the seasonings evenly and create a flavorful broth foundation.
  2. Add Veggies and Simmer: Add fresh spinach and any other chosen vegetables. Set the slow cooker to low and let the soup simmer gently for 4 to 5 hours to meld the flavors.
  3. Add Tortellini Towards the End: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cheese tortellini to cook until tender but not mushy.
  4. Finish with Parmesan: Just before serving, sprinkle in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and stir to combine for a creamy, umami-rich finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients and quality broth to enhance flavor and nutrition.
  • Don’t overcook the tortellini; add it late to prevent mushiness.
  • For extra flavor, sauté onions and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • For a lighter option, reduce the cheese or use low-fat tortellini.
  • Stir the soup occasionally during cooking if possible to evenly distribute heat and flavors.
